Dell Streak finally Unlocked!?
Jun 28th
Amazingly the Dell Streak is now available unlocked direct from Dell for only £449. This is a heft £50 more to get it away from o2 although if you love freedom this may be for you. I myself have gone for the o2 £30 a month contract. It’s a good deal in my opinion. But check back later for my post analysing all the offers in detail to provide you the best idea of cost.
Don’t forget to check back for my Full Indepth Review of the Dell Streak appearing later tomorrow this weekend!
Gmote
Jun 28th
Gmote is a superb program. From previously owning a iPod Touch 2G for over a year and having been used to using the superb software AirMouse during that period I have gotten used to controlling my Computers Media collection from afar. I was hoping for another similar program to allow me to do this on Android.
Gmote turns Android into a remote control for a computer, allowing users to run movies and music at a distance. It supports all of the standard remote control features such as play, pause, rewind, volume controls etc. It also has a built-in file browser that lets you select what to play.
Gmote is infact, in my opinion, far better than AirMouse even though it’s a free Application. I would infact be happy to pay up to £4.99 to use this product once it’s a bit more polished with a prettier UI. But you can’t fault it’s current achievements!
Advanced Task Killer 1.7.9
Jun 28th
Another key Application that I would be shocked to not be included on every phone is some type of Task Killer. Many of todays Smartphones do have enough power to run a lot of applications at once and in the background, however to conserve battery as well as to enable that 3D game that extra bit of speed using these apps to remove the memory hogs is truly useful!
Android Facebook 1.2.1
Jun 28th
In our modern age communication and socialising is one of the main goals of any mobile device platform. One of the main site’s used for this communication is Facebook.
Giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.
Millions of people use Facebook everyday to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.
So of course I had to give an in-depth review of the Facebook application available on all Android devices. At the publishing of this review the application was at version 1.2.1 and provided a limited, yet more streamlined, approach to the facebook website than you may experience using your mobile’s browser.
